LEMON CAKES. -Thrcc-fourthl OF
pound OF flour and two ounces OF butter
rubbed together in dry state; then add
three fouiths of pound of white sugnr
the juice and rind Of ono lemon and one
egg Bake IN small cakes on q tin.
MoLAssEs COOKIES. ---Onc cupful of
buttcr, two cupfuls OF molasscs, one
teaspoonful OF cloves, one tcaspoonful of
ginger, sufficient flour TO make stilT
batter, not dough. Mold with the
hands into small cakes and bake in n
steady rather than quick oven, as they
are apt TO burn.
SALMON SALADS. To a can Of salmon
take eight or ten stalks OF celery: cut
the celery into small pieces and mix
with the salmon, which should also be
picked into small bits; sprinkle over n
little salt and very little pepper, and
pour on some good vinegar. A small
onion may bc added if desired.
DRIED PEA Sour. Soak the peas
over night, using quart of water tn
each quart Of peas, and putting in about
tcaspoonful OF soda TO soften them:
wash them of in the morning and put
them in fresh water and boil till tender;
boil with q pouId aud half Of salt pork
or beef; lift the peas out and mash
through colandcr. putting back the
paste without the skins; salt and pepper
to taste, and boil up well again.
CHICKEN PIE. Joint the chicken.
which should be young; Joil them till
nearly tender in just sufficient water to
cover them; take them out OF the liquor
and lay them in Tddding dish lined
with pic c.ust, and TO each layer OF
chickens put three or four thin slices of
pork, or couple OF ounces of butter
cut into small bits; season each layer
well with pepper and salt, and drcdge
flour over the top, and then turn in the
liquor in which the chicken was stewcd,
till you can just see it ut the top; cover
it with pie crust, cut slit in the centre,
and ornament with strips Of pastry.
Bake in a quick oven for about an hour.
WAFFLEs. -Wahlcs should be made
quickly md beaten thoroughly. Al
ways add the whites OF the eggs lust
before baking. Butter is much nicer
than lard for shortening. Never use
sugar for waffle batter, as il tends to
mako them heavy and tough. Waffle
batter should be very thin. To make
good waifles, take one pint Of butter
milk, one teaspoonful OF soda, ono table
spoonful Of melted butter one tcacup
Of -four, the yolk Of four eggs and a
small pinch Of salt; beat the whites
separately TO n stiff froth, and add them
the last thing. Have the wahle.tins
we'll creased aud very hot, pour in the
latter and bake brown. When taken
up spread with butter and keep warm.
